  • Lead supplier performance reviews and continuous improvement initiatives.
  • Work closely with Business Unit Stakeholders / Leaders, Operations, CI, Legal, Risk, and Finance teams to align Procurement with operational and customer requirements.
  • Work with Suppliers and internal teams to lead contract reviews, pricing agreements, and service-level terms informed by Business Unit requirements.
  • Interpret historical demand data to inform sourcing strategies, supplier capacity discussions and volume-based or long-term agreements.
  • Demonstrate working knowledge of time-series concepts such as trend, seasonality, variability, and forecast error.
  • Use Microsoft Excel for raw spend data analysis, RFP response analysis, etc.
  • Develop and maintain BI dashboards (Power BI, Tableau, or similar) to track KPIs including cost savings, contract coverage, and contract performance.
  • Translate analytical insights into clear, actionable recommendations for sourcing and operations leadership.

Qualifications
What you need to be successful in this role:
  • Bachelor's degree in Supply Chain Management, Business, Engineering, Data Analytics or related field.
  • 4-5 years of experience in strategic sourcing, procurement or supply chain roles.
